Willy, son of Dr. Konstantin Frank, died yesterday of a massive stroke from last week.

Oh, too bad. He was certainly a colorful character.

I'm sorry to hear of his death. I will remember the tour of the Dr. Konstantin Frank Winery.

Forgive the smiley face. I forgot to change it before submitting.

We will pray for him. From the presentation he gave us, there are many others to keep the place running properly.

A real shame. He was very interesting, and the wine was good, too.


Forget the smiley here, too.

Don't want to hijack the thread, but we also lost Rodney Strong a few days before Willy. He finally succumbed to the effects of the stroke he suffered a few years ago. A much larger force in the industry than most people realize. The Sonoma County wine industry owes him a lot, and we reap the results.
